New "Lightsaber Duel" Clip From STAR WARS: AHSOKA; Disney+ Changes Up Release Schedule
Disney+ has shared a new action-packed clip from Star Wars: Ahsoka titled “Lightsaber Duel.” In the clip, we see Hera and Chopper chasing down a ship that is on the run and as this is happening, Ahsoka is back on the ground in an intense lightsaber battle with two assailants including the former Inquisitor, Marrok.
I had a chance to watch the first two episodes of the series last night, and it was awesome! This is basically Star Wars: Rebels Season 5. I’ve very excited to see how this series continues to play out!
Disney+ also announced that the series will premiere a day earlier on August 22. They also revealed that new episodes of the show will be released every Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I included that announcement below.
Now, check out the clip!
The show will pick up where Star Wars Rebels left off and the search for Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) and Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) really begins. The official logline reads: “Set after the fall of the Empire, Star Wars: Ahsoka follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.”
Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) joins Ahsoka on her journey. They will be joined by Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and the droid, Chopper, and Zeb will also most likely return. The series also stars Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, Ray Stevenson as Baylon, and Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati.
The limited series is written by Dave Filoni who executive produces along with Jon Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy.
